Show Summary

  • Ended
This series is a spin off of the Spider-man show in 1994. Hijacking a space shuttle to save John Jameson, who crash-landed on another planet as the result of Venom and Carnage attacking his ship during its flight into space, Spider-Man ends up stranded on Counter-Earth, an Earth-like planet in the same orbit on the other side of the sun. On Counter-Earth, he finds a high-tech society where humanoid animals, also known as beastials, rule under the leadership of the High Evolutionary, while humans, the minorities, are seen as second class citizens and must be "tagged" with tracking devices that prevent them from attempting to rebel against the beastials. If that wasn't bad enough, Venom and Carnage are about, having their minds set on global domintation through the help of the Synoptic - a hivemind producing spores that turn people into its mindless slaves. This series ended on a cliffhanger, as Marvel's bankruptcy brought the show to an unexpected end after the first season. Six episodes were produced for the second season, including a conclusion to the first season's finale (which was intended to be a multi-part episode), but never aired. There are currently no plans for a home video release, although Disney has acquired the rights to air and release episodes of the series.moreless

    Why was this show canceled? on Wiki it says that it had fair ratings but was overshadowed by Pokemon, Hey you know what? F*** Pokemon that show was just *** ****** *** ******* ***.

    Spiderman Unlimited is awesome, and I say they should redo the show and continue where they left off.

    I really liked the whole new theme and upgrades he got in this show, and the whole changing of the environment and all, I've been searching everywhere to watch this show and get back to my childhood.

    It's an awesome sequel to the Spiderman Animated Series, and it was totally g@y of them to cut off the show like that in the middle of a cliff hanger, again, F*** Pokemon.moreless

    I tried watching it, but lost intrest right away. If you want to have a show that is exciting do not get this. The animation kind of annoys me a bit. The characters all look like they have to loose a few pounds. If you like shows with not so good scripts and/or backround information, loook at this show. Exactly what you want. I know that i probably cannot put my review into more words because all I can say is that is sucks ans i am glad that they cancelled the series. I really believe that-I'm typing too much-if you want to be addictes to a show it has to have a good plot line, well developed characters and more. Gosh...I feel like i am a critic.moreless

    Spider-Man unlimited is the supposed sequal to Spider-MAn the animated series basically about Spider-man going to an alternate universe of sorts (actually, a planet on the other side of the sun; but same thing) to rescue John Jameson. There he finds gentically altered animals are the rulers and humans are second class citizenss:/ So as you can figure out from jsut reading this review so far: it's not much like the comics.

    The downfall of the show can be attributted to numerous things. One of said things was unaviodable, the popularity of Pokemon over it, but the others were really mistakes on the part of the production team. Despite it supposedly being the sequal to Spider-Man the animated series, it has little in common with it. The animation and character design are COMPLETLY diffrent and there are major continuity errors (MJ and Peter are married and sharing an apartment, but when we left TAS MJ was still stuck floating around in a wormhole). If the production team had a brain they'd have the two shows sepereate. Little character development (with the expection of MAYBE Peter) is shown and it's one of those annoying continuity shows were you have to watch every episode in order (nothing wrong with that if everythig isn't WAY too fast paced). Spidey trying to link Nicko (his friend/land lord) to MJ just got annoying after awhile. Especially when romance was hinted (for crying outloud he's MARRIED and spends every episode trying to get back/wanting to go back to Earth to see said wife!!!). Addionly some elements are just too wierd (the Goblin's a good guy on Counter Earth? And he's likly Nicko's husband? Soap Opera Much?)

    Not to say the show was horrible; it was unique how they made it seem like a comic book and the jokes are (as always with Spidey) pretty witty. However, the show's run never came to a conclusive ending and we were left with a cliff hanger. I won't mind seeing those unproduced episodes to be honest, but the real hard-core spidey fans maybe a bit put off.moreless

  • Terrible...the Spiderman series that came before this (Spiderman: The Animated Series) was one of the best cartoons ever, and Spiderman Unlimited is one of the worst cartoons ever.

    FOX really should've stuck with Spiderman the Animated Series...this was a huge downgrade.

    Why was it so bad? Let me count the ways.

    No character development (one of the biggest strengths of the previous series, this series just didn't care).
    A boring plotline.
    Too many changes. I'm all for some futuristic updates, like Batman Beyond did, but this show took away almost every single thing associated with the old Spiderman. Basically, replace all the good stuff with sucky stuff, except keep the name "Spiderman" for your hero.
    Even the voice acting was shaky, no emotion at all, just some monotone exposition, and yelling during the action.

    Basically they tried to move everything too fast...you've gotta take a little time and develop a story. I think the creators had some kind of licensing problem with the Spiderman universe, which explains why they had to change everything...if this is the result though, why bother?moreless

  • Spider Man Unlimited is a discrase and a mockery to the excellence that was Spider-Man the animated series. Traveling to a counter-earth infested with Man-Beasts to save Jameson's kid?! THe Hell?!? MY SCORE 3.6moreless

    Story: 4
    Ridiculous story that doesn't follow the previous show or the comic books. The only thing good about it is the Spider-man was true to feeling responsible for bad things happening and tries to solve them which he does. thats about it. the rest of it was random and crap. for example WTF did Nick Fury angent of shield come out of no where to try to stop him from going into space?? why not someone of lesser importance??! The show also lacks continuity as is doesn't follow up on the gaps between the last show, even though it used the old shows theme song in the very first episode. How did MJ get out of Limbo?! Why are Venom and Carnage working together? they hate each other? where are Brock and Cassidy? What happened to Aunt May? Seriously... and it goes on and on... Design: 2
    they completely changed every characters design and gave them all new voices actors... the new costume of spider, Venom and carnage all suck... Spider looks like a new age DC character with that cape of his... Venom looks retarded with teeth protruding from his back, and Carnage with an elogated neck.. The hell? The colors are also way more vibrant with way more Black color in the show. the contrast almost makes your eyes hurt. it doesn't follow the previous color scheme at all. so dark it almost makes you want to think they made a daredevil show instead. Animation: 5
    The changed nothing. they actually took out the 3d sequences and replaced them with hand drawn which isn't bad but the fact that the fluidity stays the same is bad... its freaking 1996 man. come on. 3.6 assmoreless
